Rambles in the North West 

14/06/2024 Crohy Head

Today’s ramble is a fascinating one - we are at Crohy Head, near Dungloe and we are exploring the unique seascape known as ‘Bristí’ - a scattering of enormous stones around a wonderful natural sea arch. The scale and variety of colour in the stones down here is magnificent- there are the tiniest of pebbles strewn between enormous boulders, in all shades from ochre to speckled orange to onyx-ie layers of black and white. The sea stack can’t be seen from the road, so we have to shimmy down a fairly steep pathway, among the bog cotton and the pretty ‘Sheep’s Bit’ which is flowering right now, confetti-ing the pathway in purples and blues. The water is clear and energetic, smoothing the stones as they clack against each other. Tiny rock pools nestle in the crevices, silvery flashes of little fish between the snub anemones. Time seems suspended down here, it’s both beautiful and terrifying in its slow, relentless erosion. Another amazing and magical Donegal ramble!
